For what it is worth, here is a timely article from cars.com.

Not in the snow belt it isn't.
That's why I made the disclaimer of what the article might be worth. :E
As an afterthought, the current prices may be due in part to reduced gasoline refining capacity. Do a "google" for "refinery fire" and you will find:
- Explosion at Exxon LA-area refinery - Feb 2015
- Extensive damage at Husky Ohio refinery after explosion, fire - Jan 2015
- Fire at Washington State Oil Refinery - May 2015
Or, maybe a knat passed gas. :o Kinda like the crazy stock market, they can find any reason to raise prices.
